Since 1993, we've been specialising in teaching French to young children at nursery and primary levels. You will find more information about these activities in the following pages.
1. NURSERY SCHOOLS
Le Français en Ecosse has revolutionised the existing teaching methods by:
-
Creating a coherent syllabus tailor-made for Nursery children (aged 3+)
-
Creating teaching material especially for English speaking children
-
Keeping the parents informed of the children's progress by sending regular newsletters
-
Reducing the number of children per class (8 max per group)
-
Working exclusively with qualified native French speakers
Teaching options
- Class size: maximum 8 children - minimum 5 children
- Length of class: 30 minutes
The minimum teaching time at the nursery is one hour. A minimum of 10 children is therefore required to start French classes in your nursery. Further information for parents is available on request.

Science and Nature

The emphasis is on interaction. Children will learn words in context and will be encouraged to create their own sentences. Activities will vary according to age group and to time spent at the nursery.
